-=== Oneirogens ===
-Whilst not considered a classical psychedelic, [[oneirogens]], are chemicals which might induce PiMs by enhancing dream states. They are unlike psychedelics as they seem to be less potent and work unconsciously.

 ===Spiritual experiences===
 Whilst unproven scientifically, (it would be very difficult due to the subjective nature) spiritual experiences have been shown to shift modes of general thought patterns. Pharmacologically the human brain has been found to produce endogenous psychedelic compounds (DMT)<ref>'''N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an Endogenous Hallucinogen: Past, Present, and Future Research to Determine Its Role and Function'''.
